Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Monday afternoon? Mom is doing alright. Been up early this morning & I have been on the go since. Mom did not relax in bed like I usually do & it really felt great! I was up, ready & walked the pups by 9:30 am & I started right in on taking down all the Fall decorations as the Christmas decorations will be going up within the next week or so. I had to get all the ones in the apartment, outside of the door & the ones on the balcony. I needed to find places for everything as well. That was a chore in itself but I managed as I always do. That took me the longest. Then I gathered up all the garbage, took it to the dumpster, grabbed the mail, & came back & swept out the garage to get rid of all the leaves that had fallen. Now I am in my office obviously writing to you & then after that I need to get going on doing some research online as Mom is thinking of switching majors in school. I need to know what to do to change it all or if it is even possible. Then I will be getting the night routine stuff ready. Later it will be relaxing & watching TV for a couple hours & then bed. Mom & Mark are trying to get up earlier & go to bed earlier as well. There are not many hours of daylight right now so the earlier we are up the better so we can enjoy it before it gets dark at 4 pm. Right now it looks like it is 8 pm because the weather is chilly & once again rainy. No sun just lots of gray skies & clouds here. I guess tomorrow & Wednesday will be nice & rain again on Thursday. Looks like we will be staying home on Thanksgiving this year again. The weather is not looking good. It calls for snow, sleet & freezing rain from Wednesday, Thursday, Thanksgiving Day & into Friday. We are bummed but we are not going to take any chances at all. Better to be safe than sorry. We will see everyone for Christmas. We will have a couple days with everyone then. Mom spoke to Grandpa last night & he still was so sick. We didn't talk for long because I wanted him to just relax. Debbie was taking him up to the hospital this morning to be looked at & hopefully get some medicine that will make him better. I told him I would call him tonight to just check in. Mom also spoke to Meme 3 times yesterday & once today. Things are good there. All is well. Everyone else is doing good & staying busy by working, family & getting ready for the Christmas season. It will be upon us in just a few short weeks.... 5 weeks today to be exact....wow! That means in 6 weeks it will be a new year. Another year without you. This will make 5 years... June 2018. Time flies by for sure. Mom misses you so much. Days don't get any easier & the nights are harder as that is when we would chat on the phone or skype. I wish heaven had a phone because I would be calling you all the time. I miss your voice so much. I miss you calling me Mom. I miss it all. Holidays are great but they sure are tough without you here. You were my everything. My hero, the wind beneath my wings. You will forever live in my heart, mind, body & soul. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. Mom hopes you will always feel this deep inside your soul. 
 Mom has no other updates for the day but here is a prayer for you:  May God’s new morning mercies be the first thing on your mind today. May God’s perfect love lighten your steps today. May His abounding faithfulness awaken your heart to all you are because of Him. You have everything you need in Him. May these truths upstage every lesser thing today. You’re loved and blessed. Have a great, great day.
 Here is a saying for you as well: For the highs & lows & moments between, mountains & valleys & rivers & streams. For where you are now & where you will go, For " I've always known " & " I told you so, " for " nothing is happening " & " all has gone wrong, " it is here in this journey you will learn to be strong. You will get where you're going, landing where you belong. 
 Mom will be whispering to you later on in the evening so be listening for my voice. Smile when you hear Mom & I will smile as I am whispering to you my sweet precious son. I hope that you evening will be everything you need & want it to be. Visit Mom if you can. I would love that. Please continue to watch over us all. Thank you. Fly high & free. Mom will be back tomorrow with another letter to you so until then I must get going so I can work on some other things that I need to before it gets too late. Good night & sweet dreams my shining star!
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
